82 Quotes by Jonathan Bailey

When you have a great intimacy coordinator on set - which Bridgerton' does - you eliminate all of the stress.

No, I'm alright for adventure. I will up the Thames in one of those Jacuzzi dingys.

When I left school I did far more theatre than anything else and it was exciting.

We've come quite far with the idea of equality between sexes, but there's still a lot of conversations that need to be had about men in power.

I think it shouldn't matter at all what character people play, but of course there is a narrative that's very clear, that openly gay men aren't playing straight in leading roles.

It's funny, because even though Bridgerton' is obviously a period drama, Anthony's story is quite modern in the sense that he's reached a point where he genuinely believes that love will never happen for him.

It seemed really important that at least one character in Bridgerton' got burnt by love - you know, Anthony mishandled his relationship with Siena and became quite toxic.

And also, there's a reason why gay characters are so interesting. Because much like the women in Bridgerton,' there are a lot of hurdles and there's a lot of self-growth, and there's a real strength to gay men.

So the fact that a lot of straight men have gone on to play iconic gay roles and to be lauded for that is fantastic, that that story is being told. But wouldn't it be brilliant to see gay men play their own experience?
